Given 89% while driving a Chrysler 300C (245/45 R20) on a combination of roads for 35,000 spirited miles
Fitted these tyres to a Chrysler 300c as a replacement for the Goodyear F1 that were fitted as OEM. Goodyear only did 25K miles.
The Scorpion Verde have done in excess of 35k miles and are not in need of replacement yet. I will replace with the same type again.

With these Pirelli I have done 54,000 kms up to now with my Range Rover Sport 2015 and haven change them yet. The only problem I have got is that two of them get cut on the side while doing off road on mountain rock road.

Second set of these I've put on the Volvo now and they are great, get over 35k miles a set and are a great all rounder, very well matched to the car and easy to come by nationwide. Hard to give a full and accurate review of dynamic ability to the type of car they are fitted to but for the kind of driving I do I'll be happy to put a third set on.

Only issue is they are a little pricey, could be a few £ less to buy, over £550 for a set on my car!

Very good in all conditions including snow and ice.Not as quiet or economical as expected but still comparable with previous continental 4x4 contact. The also seem to have more grip than the continental

I have had these tyres on my car for 23k miles and they are still holding up well.There is even wear and no degradation at all.
They do a great job in snow/mud/dry and wet

I used a set of these in my SUV and within 9 months and 4000km they started deteriorating, there was uneven wear along the ridges with each ridge being different height and appearing to be disintegrating. Cuts, abrasions and chunks were all visible on the tyres, looked like foam rather than rubber. If you've seen how foam wear then you will know what I mean.

I can't in all honesty recommend these particular "Green" tyres to anyone as I suspect inconsistency in the rubber compound (with other additives) and inferior composition. It's fine to sell a tyre as "green" but you also need to tell the truth about possible disadvantages, instead of stroking people's ego and telling them they are saving the earth. You will waste your money on these tyres, get a non-green tyre instead. Pirelli, shame on you for not responding to any of my emails, not even wanting to see photos of the tyres, I would have though this is a safety issue for you to investigate in future green tyres. Obviously nobody cares, so consumers must be weary.

Oh yea, when you ask the retailers about this tyre, they say there is no difference in the wear/safety of green and regular tyres. This can't logically be true, misleading consumers. Green buyers beware.

Given 27% while driving a Land Rover Discovery 2 (235/70 R16) on a combination of roads for 5,000 average miles
I am very disappointed with the recently purchased replacement Pirelli tyres on my Land rover Discovery.
Following an MOT fail for a damaged tyre I decided to replace the damaged one and worst other and fit a pair of new Pirelli Scorpion S/T to have a complete set of Pirelli Scorpion S/T tyres all round.
As the old type of Pirelli Scorpion S/T are no longer available the latest equivalent was fitted.
A pair of Pirelli Scorpion Verde 106H tyres were fitted I was assured that these were the best tyres that could be fitted.
Unfortunately I have found the new tyres slip contently and lose traction on damp grass causing the traction control to work constantly ( vehicle unladen)
As there is no grip on the front tyres feels like driving on rims only
My questions are
Are these Pirelli Scorpion Verde 106H tyres correct for the Landrover Discovery 2001 TD5 ?
Will the grip get better with time?
Is it safe to drive on the motorway with a heavy trailer in the wet with the lack of grip?
Is it safe to drive on the road with a mix of Pirelli Scorpion S/T on the rear and Pirelli Scorpion Verde 106H on the front as it is skids constantly on grass.

Given 20% while driving a Land Rover Discovery Series 2 TD5 (235/65 R17) on mostly motorways for 13,000 easy going miles
I had to change all four original Continental Contacts on my Freelander 2 at 33,000 miles and went for Pirelli Scorpion Verde - big £600 mistake! After just 13,000 miles (mostly motorway)they are down to the wear bars - the compound is clearly too soft for a 4WD and with such a short life span they are NOT 'green' . . . very disappointed.

Reasonable ride and not to noisy.. Wear rate is incredible though ! My tyres have done 10,000 miles on a Rav 4 (Mostly motorway) and the fronts which are the driven wheels most of the time are 75% worn out !! Not a tyre for those who cover high miles !
